Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I purchased a 2012 Hyundai Accent 5 door 03/02/21012 and discovered after the purchase there was no spare tire just a repair kit. I was not told before the purchase. Who would even think that a spare was not included. This is a safety issue especially if you are on the side of the road in the dark and it's inclement weather . The tire kit instructions are hard to understand. I contacted Hyundai and my secretary of state to complain about the safety issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #10450198, filed 2012-03, 52 miles“I was turning a corner going to work and the front passenger tire popped. I called the roadside assistance to come take care of the vehicle. Only to learn that there was no spare tire, when I specifically asked the salesperson if there was one he stated yes. The car had to be towed to the dealers. The dealer then tells me that I must have hit something because the sidewall of the tire had a hole in it. However, I did not hit anything nor rub a curb. They are not standing behind the warranty of the tires and notified me that the tires on the vehicle are discontinued. …”

The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH over a railroad track, the front passenger's side tire failed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection where it was determined that the front passenger's side tire failed due to bubbles exhibited on the inside wall. The tire was replaced however, the replacement tire also failed while the contact was driving 50 MPH. The replacement tire, which was also a kumho tire of the same size, failed due to tread separation. The tires were replaced. …”
